Longtime readers will know that I tend to dislike building multiples of the same car. It’s a bit of a restrictive mindset, but there are still so many cars out there that I want to build in my own style, so it feels wasteful to spend my time and energy building say, three different R34 Skylines.

Ironically, this isn’t a kit for myself – the president of my university’s car club drives a black 2013 R35, and he just so happened to have a lot of parts on his car that…
